I had tried that originally and it did not work without manually replacing it under the profile folder.

At any rate...worth a shot.

1) First make sure you have .NET Compact 3.5 installed

2) Do registry fix

Maybe someone could help me with .NET as I don't think I'm "right". I don't remember in what order I did things but the bottom line is this:

When I try to run Mobile Monger I get an error saying "This application requires a newer version of .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device". Then I see a .NET CF Initialization Error saying "the app failed to load required components....".

So it sounds like I'm not up 3.5. So when I run the .NET CF 3.5 cab file I got from MS, I get an error telling me "The .NET Compact Framework version you are attempting to install already exists in ROM" and the installation fails.

FWIW, my registry is set so that 2.0 is 0 and 3.5 is 1. I believe I hacked that myself at some point. Also at some point in time, I recall going to Remove Programs and seeing 2.0 in the list and removed it thinking it would help. Now I see no .NET in Remove Programs at all.

At this point, I'm not sure 3.5 is properly installed (Monger says no). Can someone tell me if they see either 2.0 or 3.5 in their list in Remove Programs? Is there another method for me to determine where I am and how to fix things. Truthfully, I have no other symptom of a problem except not being able to run Monger but now I'm wondering if I am really running 3.5 and getting the speed improvement over 2.0 or not.

Thanks

2.0 is only in remove programs if you added it.
3.5 is the same way, unless you are using a cooked ROM, and seeing that you are on Verizon, I am sure thats not the case.

So if 3.5 is not in remove programs, try installing it from the cab.

JonV...did you do a backup before you started attempting this? Sometimes it helps to do a restore and start from scratch, that is why I always suggest backing up on a regular basis. Unles you get someone VERY comfortable with altering the registry, maybe trying to install NET 2.0 and see what it says. Maybe if you can get that installed you can trick the Omnia into upgrading 'back' to the 3.5 version.

Question, if you install the .NET 3.5 framework, can I now uninstall the 2.0 framework to save space?
